Use physical response in Krav Maga if there is no other option!

"I have found over the years that many
Martial Artists have found it difficult
to strike with any power or accuracy when
the attacker is right up in their faces.

They want room to step back or stance up.

In the real world you will NOT have this
time or luxury...

Train out of no stance, work in tight
corners, backs to walls.

Make it difficult for yourself, pressurize
yourself so that you can react and EXPLODE
from very short range.

Also remember that real attackers are
fuelled with emotions like HATE and jealousy
so use verbal dialogue, swearing, insults -
whatever to make the scenario real.

Any defensive tactics must be trained in Krav Maga from
close range, as this is where it will be,
like it or not.

Nine times out of ten it won't be of YOUR
choosing anyway.

Needless to say, techniques have to
basically flow from one to another giving
the attacker no chance of stopping them.

Bring these ideas into your training and
it will improve it no end - especially if
you are interested in reality training.

We know by now if you hesitate in a 'live'
situation it will go to grappling on to the
ground.

But remember 99% of fights will start on
the feet.

This is the crucial time when the day
can be won or lost. By all means train for
the ground but do NOT neglect your close
quarter stand up Krav Maga skills.

Remember: only use physical response if
there is no other option, but if you have
to, be 100% committed and RAPIDLY fire in
your response.

Recent media coverage of the ever increasing
violence on our streets dictates we all
need to have the skills to defend
ourselves when the 's..t' hits the fan'.
Get the right training and you can walk
a little more safely and feel more
confident about yourself with Krav Maga knowledge."
